For angling-rod he took a sturdy oake For line, a cable that in storm neer broke His hooke was such as heads the end of pole To pluck down house ere fire consumes it whole The hook was baited with a dragons tale, And then on rock he stood to bob for whale.

Praise and Prayer PRAISE is devotion fit for mighty minds, The diff'ring world's agreeing sacrifice Where Heaven divided faiths united finds But Prayer in various discord upward flies. For Prayer the ocean is where diversely Men steer their course, each to a sev'ral coast Where all our interests so discordant be That half beg winds by which the rest are lost. By Penitence when we ourselves forsake, 'Tis but in wise design on piteous Heaven In Praise we nobly give what God may take, And are, without a beggar's blush, forgiven.
William Davenant
The assembled souls of all that men held wise.

Since knowledge is but sorrow's spy, It is not safe to know.
